Comedies that spread the 90’s and after with endless chuckles, giggles, and chortles! – Let’s revisit the classics and the recent favourites on STARZPLAY!
- Two and a Half Men: Charlie and Alan are diametrically opposite in nature except for the common dislike they share for their dominating mother. Alan is a neat freak chiropractor who is thrown out of his house by his cold and calculative wife. While Charlie on the other hand is a free-spirited and carefree bachelor living life king size in his luxurious Malibu beach house. Now on the road with nowhere to go, Alan eventually moves in with Charlie along with his food-obsessed lazy kid. The sitcom revolves around their conflicting lifestyle and the upbringing of Jake, with an efficient caring dad on one side and the dream sugar uncle on the other. While the first half of the show was dominated by the charming Charlie Sheen’s presence the second half is taken over by funnyman Ashton Kutcher. Two adults. One kid. No grown-ups.
- Everybody Loves Raymond: Celebrated sportswriter Ray Barone has it all. A loving wife, a beautiful home in Long Island, an illustrious career, but there’s only one problem that gets in the way of his perfect life. His annoyingly nagging parents who live across the road and his jealous brother who can never seem to be happy for Ray. Starring ace comedian Roy Ramona who also executive produced the show alongside David Letterman. The long-running series made Roy a household name!

Laughter is the best therapy, no doubt!
- Modern Family: The pandemic may have made it difficult for us to visit our families but there’s the light-hearted series – Modern Family that will always have our back. 11 seasons worth of relentless giggles, we welcomed the sitcom’s extended family of dysfunctional individuals into our home as if they were our own relatives and we’ll be doing so for a long time now that the complete series is streaming on STARZPLAY!

It’s as real as it can get for it brings to light childhood traumas, friendship’s ups and downs, financial problems, love crises, first car, marriage, pregnancy, embarrassing situations and overestimated expectations albeit in a humorous way and the best part – the mysterious mother remains a mystery right until the very end!
- Last Man Standing: Mike Baxter (Tim Allen), a macho marketing executive at a sporting-goods store, decides to spend less time travelling for work and more time at home with his wife (Nancy Travis) and three daughters in the first series of this sitcom. He becomes more involved in his daughters’ lives, and even tries to help eldest daughter, Kristin (Alexandra Krosney), with her young son, but he winds up getting the child kicked out of daycare. Some of his other missteps include encouraging his teenager Mandy (Molly Ephraim) to get a job delivering pizzas at night, which his wife worries is unsafe; and giving tomboy Eve (Kaitlyn Dever) some football advice, which leads to her injuring a boy on whom she has a crush. A classic comedy of errors but also a feel-good sitcom that will leave you with a smile!

Their mother, Jessica (Constance Wu), is a strong-willed, traditional-minded woman who relentlessly pressures her children to excel academically while remaining in touch with their Taiwanese heritage. Louis (Randall Park), the father of the family, is a kind yet naïve man who wants to embraces the concept of the American Dream and is determined to have his new steakhouse, Cattleman’s Ranch, succeed at all costs.
- The Office: A remarkable and situational comedy, The Office is a mockumentary sitcom on the typical day of an office employee in Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.
